Well he woke up about 1230 to diarrhea all over the tile Infront of the mantel. Got it all cleaned, cone back on and in her crate. Up at 5 and more diarrhea. Ever since then we've taken her out every 1-2 hours and it's all diarrhea. Today I'm feeding her her regular kibble. But smaller portions (1/2 of what she normally eats every 6 hours). No more vomiting - and we've been able to pretty much keep her on the couch with me today. Although, I can't do much bc she will get up and follow me if I get up. So her potty breaks are my potty breaks. Lol If the diarrhea doesn't get better by morning I'm calling the vet. THey open at 9. I just want my baby to get better.
I really appreciate all the kind thoughts and prayers!!! You guys are amazing!

Poor girl.... can you leave the cone off? Most times they do not bother the area? Have you added some pure canned pumpkin to her food, like a tablespoon? it can help firm up the poo

Yes, we've been able to keep the cone off most of the time. Yesterday she went 6 hours between diarrhea spells. It got a little thicker through the day. Last night me and my husband camped out in the living room, alarm set every 2 hours to take her outside. She didn't have anymore diarrhea episodes all night, and this morning after her breakfast, I got soft poop! HALLELUJAH!!! I was going to get some purée pumpkin today if the diarrhea wasn't any better. This morning she really seems back to her old self! She slept well last night- mostly cuddled right in my arms. But it seems like we are on the upside of this now. Hopefully we got all her surgeries out of the way. This girl does not handle the after effects of surgery very well. Lol. It's been a LONG couple of days for us. Atleast we have a 6 month buffer before Lockjaws gets neutered. I think we will be a little more prepared then. Lol
